Please do not reduce the investing freedom of individual investors. We should be free to make our own investing decisions, whether they are wise or not - that is our decision to make. This would further stack the deck against individuals, when institutional investing firms already have myriad tools and freedoms that are not given to average people. Furthermore, these firms have shown no better
Please do NOT restrict my right to invest as I choose. That is NOT why you were elected.
I dont agree with adding restrictions on public investments. I like having a variety of fund vehicles that allow me to tailor different parts of my family portfolio to best align with our plans. I am planning to use some of these vehicles to hedge retirement withdrawals, so we won't be hammered by reverse-dollar-cost-averaging. New restrictions will not prevent irresponsible individuals

I am an individual investor (albeit a sophisticated individual investor with a financial engineering degree) and being able to use leveraged inverse funds helps me hedge and execute trading strategies without having to structure the hedge from scratch (e.g., using options or futures contracts). Therefore, I strongly support general access to leveraged and inverse funds.
The additional restrictions and regulations will impede a "free- market" trading system, distorting true price discovery in public securities. It also puts greater control in the hands of certain parties (with "specialized" knowledge) who will have advantageous and timely access to leveraged and inverse exchange-traded funds. It is not fair to restrict
As an investor, it is my right to have free access to the entirety of the public securities markets without arbitrary restrictions. Please respect and protect my right!
As an Investor in leveraged ETFs, I very much would like to stop new regulations that would make it more difficult to purchase these securities. I fully understand that these can go up and down far more drastically than the market average and I fully expect that. Investing is risky and I feel like investors can properly determine their own risky tolerance with the information provided.
Please don't kowtow and restrict personal trading options.
